Dance fitness classes for the everyday woman: Tempe, Arizona.

 Express Mie Dance studio provides dance fitness, ballroom, and beauty classes aimed at the everyday woman.

The studio opened two and a half years ago and offers a variety of classes; from upbeat country line dancing to bodacious ballerina, there is a class for every type of woman of every shape and size.

A regular attendee, Robin Kasitz, says she stumbled upon the studio a few months ago and now holds an unlimited membership. “I got burn out at the gym,” Kasitz admits. “I decided I needed to either get a personal trainer or try to find something where someone my age would feel comfortable. This studio has women of all ages, shapes and sizes- you feel comfortable being you.”

Kasitz is not the only woman who enjoys the Express Mie dance classes. Instructor Josefa Kamp teaches bodacious ballerina Satuday mornings to a packed class. A certified trainer, Kamp says she has seen tremendous results from this particular class. “It’s very feminine friendly, targeted at obtaining a curvy, toned physique, without bulking the muscles.  It’s a challenging class- I switch it up a lot- but your ability increases quickly.”

Instructor Erin Johnson believes the best part about the Express Mie studio is the fact that women are actually enjoying their work out. “If you hate working out these are really fun classes where you are getting a work out too, and learning dance.”

All of the Express Mie fitness instructors hold some type of fitness certification, including personal trainer, Zumba, and yoga certifications.  The classes are divided into four different categories: goddess body, dance fitness, ballroom, and pole~ah~tease, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the classes.

The Express Mie studio is located off of McClintock and Guadalupe behind the Trader Joe’s.

Another instructor, Kathy Mower, teaches a range of classes every week, including the most upbeat country liner class you’ll ever take, and a sensual pole intro class.  “The pole intro class is an especially fun one to take,” Mower says. “And you can try it as a private party with a group of friends for a bachelorette party, birthday party, or just for fun!”
